I am working with a highly regarded, well-established structural engineering practice that, despite its small size, consistently punches well above its weight. With a team of only a handful of staff, the business has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality work and maintaining long-standing client relationships.
This is a rare opportunity for a driven structural engineer to work directly alongside the two directors in a genuinely flat, collaborative environment – with the chance to play a key role in shaping the future of the business.
The Business
Reputation & Approach
There is no hierarchy or unnecessary bureaucracy – just a flat structure built on trust, accountability, and open communication.
Growth & Succession
With one of the directors, planning to step back in the coming years, the business is now looking for a “safe pair of hands” to join the team. This individual will take on a leading role, working closely with the remaining director and a clear pathway toward directorship.
This is a genuine succession opportunity for someone looking to take ownership and help drive the next phase of growth.
The Opportunity
This role would suit an engineer who:
1. Is confident in both technical design and client-facing responsibilities
2. Enjoys developing and maintaining strong client relationships
3. Wants to play a key role in shaping and growing a business
4. Is ambitious and interested in progressing to director level
Benefits
5. Two annual bonuses (circa 20% combined)
6. Company car
7. Strong emphasis on autonomy
